Well,qualifying's over, and if MSC wins the WC now, then he'll deserve it. Tough luck for that to happen at the beginning of the final session. Nice to see Massa being quick though. If he drives like that, it would be nice to see Ferrari operating an equal team, a la McLaren in the Senna/Prost years.

i'd say its looking quite good for Michael.
He no longer is driving with any presure on him, Alonso is in one of those positions where he is and can get tied up in the first corner madness thats bound to happen and we all know that if that happens Michael just has to close up in Massa's backside and he'll breeze right by. 10th is by no means an impossible to drive through to win. It's unlikely but who knows, the big one will be Massa and Fisi. How well they do.

Thats the beauty of having Massa up in front, he can control the pace of the field. Once pit stops start, there are no better team than Ferrari, Renault are the only team as good at them, without Alonso who cares? lol. Seriously though best I can see happening is Schumi driving it through the field and possibly winning. But Alonso is simply to good to just throw it off the track. Unless he has a blown engine or is hit by someone, a top 8 place is virtually assured. The main prize now is the Constructors title, its the only one Ferrari can do anything about, everything else is in the hands of fate.

I don't think they would tell Massa what he had to do over the radio somehow

Yeah, right...

fair race? apparently not for fisi lol

i'm waiting for the cockpit cam from fisi before final judgement. My question is, do the commentators actually pay attention to the pit stops? Michael took fuel on, surely someone in the box saw it.

fair do's:)

Now, why is Alonso crying...

Delete as required:


1) He's just become the youngest back to back World Champ (not hard as last year he was the youngest champ)

2) He's just realisied that he leaving the championship winning team to go to McLaren!


A good one to watch. Lets hope JB and Honda can perform like that next year too.

...and well said Martin Brundle at the end.

Was a really action-packed race, everyone on the circuit did well and Alonso, Massa and Schumacher got what they deserved - a 2nd world championship, a win on home turf and a memorable last race....this is a race I won't be forgetting in a while.

If you're reference is toward the SpeedTV crew, no they don't. I think they're all reading the National Enquirer and having flatulence contests. 

According to Radio 5 live, Schumi was fuelled almost to the brim when he changed his punctured tyre.
I'm gutted I missed the race, I was stuck in a traffic jam on the M11 in atrocious weather conditions and almost zero visibility.
F1 on the radio doesn't really work....
